Activity itinerary

Washington Monument (Pass by)

The Washington Monument is an obelisk within the National Mall in Washington, D.C., built in 1848–1854, 1879–1884 to commemorate George Washington. Height: 555 ft (169 m).

George Washington Memorial Parkway (Pass by)

Drive through to old Alexandria and Mount Vernon. The George Washington Memorial Parkway, colloquially the G.W. Parkway, is a 25-mile-long parkway that runs along the south bank of the Potomac River from Mount Vernon, Virginia, northwest to McLean, Virginia, and is maintained by the National Park Service.

Boyhood Home of Robert E. Lee (Pass by)

Drive by and talk about the Robert E. Lee Boyhood Home. It is a historic house at 607 Oronoco Street, Alexandria, Virginia. It served in the early 1800s as the home of Anne Hill. Built: 1795.

Alexandria's Christ Church (Pass by)

Drive by it and talk about the Christ Church. It is an Episcopal church located at 118 North Washington Street in Alexandria, Virginia. Constructed as the main church in the Church of England's Fairfax Parish, the building was designed by Col. James Wren, a descendant of Sir Christopher Wren. To finance construction of the church, the Fairfax Vestry raised 31,186 pounds of Oronoco tobacco from parishioners. Construction began in 1765, under the direction of James Parsons. After four years, the church was still unfinished. The vestry relieved Mr. Parsons of his duties as overseer of the construction. John Carlyle accepted the position and handed the keys of the completed building over to the vestry in February 1773.

U.S. Capitol

Stop outside the west front for up to 15 minutes. The United States Capitol Building is located in Washington, D.C., at the eastern end of the National Mall on a plateau 88 feet above the level of the Potomac River, commanding a westward view across the US Capitol Reflecting Pool to the Washington Monument 1.4 miles away and the Lincoln Memorial 2.2 miles away. At the US Capitol the Senate and the House of Representatives come together to discuss, debate and deliberate national policy; develop consensus; and craft the country's laws. As the nation has grown so has the US Capitol: today it covers well over 1.5 million square feet, has over 600 rooms, and miles of corridors. It is crowned by a magnificent white dome that overlooks the city of Washington and has become a widely recognised icon of the American people and government. The US Capitol's design was selected by President George Washington in 1793 and construction began shortly thereafter.

White House

Stop at the north front for 20 minutes and drive by the south front of the White House, the official residence and workplace of the president of the United States. It is located at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW in Washington, D.C., and has been the residence of every US president since John Adams in 1800. The term "White House" is often used as a metonym for the president and their advisors.

The memorial includes the Vietnam Veterans Memorial "Wall," the "Three Servicemen Statue" and the "Vietnam Women's Memorial."

Lincoln Memorial

Stop and go inside the Lincoln Memorial, a US national memorial built to honour the 16th president of the United States, Abraham Lincoln. It is on the western end of the National Mall in Washington, D.C., across from the Washington Monument, and is in the form of a neoclassical temple. The memorial's architect was Henry Bacon. The designer of the memorial interior's large central statue, Abraham Lincoln (1920), was Daniel Chester French; the Lincoln statue was carved by the Piccirilli Brothers.[3] The painter of the interior murals was Jules Guerin, and the epithet above the statue was written by Royal Cortissoz. Dedicated in May 1922, it is one of several memorials built to honour an American president. It has always been a major tourist attraction and since the 1930s has sometimes been a symbolic centre focused on race relations.
